Safety InfoRMATION

COVID-19

Under the current Temporary Lockdown restrictions Club organised activity is cancelled. Individuals may sail while observing the Government's hygiene and physical distancing requirements. To enhance safety on the water Meikle may be used by those who have been trained and who adhere to the outdoor meeting rules; i.e. individual households or 2 people from 2 households. Meikle T&Cs.

The Clubhouse is closed except to those who need access to undertake their duties or obtain the keys for Meikle; anyone entering the building for these purposes should follow the C-19 guidelines posted on the front door.

Members intending to sail or visit the Club to check on their boat should read the guidance issued by RYA Scotland on 7 January 2021 first: RYAS Boating Guidance

The situation is under continuous review and we may issue updated guidance for members on the Lockdown which will be posted in Return to Boating under the ACTIVITY main menu. During Shielding, Self Isolation and Social Distancing you may want to exercise your grey matter with some online sailing activity. Go to Sailing from Home to see some options including racing.

We will communicate with members by email and publicly via this website and our two Facebook Groups; Chanonry Sailing Club and Chanonry Rowing. Bulletins from the Club are posted in the News blog. If you have any questions please use info@chanonry.org.uk.
